“I drew an early rifle elk hunt with just 1 bonus point in my very first year as a ZGF member. ZGF paid Arizona Elk Outfitters for my 7 day fully outfitted hunt for just $175.00 bucks (the cost of my resident membership). I harvested a giant elk and couldn’t be more happy with the ZGF program. Rather you draw like me on your first year or your 10th year this program will save you thousands!”

Chris Danca – Elk Grove, IL

“I wasn’t expecting to draw right away since I only had 1 bonus point for Arizona, but to my surprise I drew in my second year applying and my first year as a ZGF member. I cant tell you how glad I am to have become a member when I did, not having to pay for a traditional guided hunt was great and harvesting a super solid 4×4 was even better.

David Heath – St. George, UT

ZGF continues to be a good value for those who may not be able to scout an area for an upcoming hunt. The long lead time allows plenty of time for planning and scheduling, and the communication with the service prior to choosing a hunt is very helpful.

Steve Spearman – Boulder City, NV

I’ve always been told that if a deal looks too good to be true it probably is. Well… I was proved wrong. ZGF is as good as it gets. Top-notch outfitter, and the bucks and bulls to back it up. Thanks for a great experience and I look forward to many more hunts with you guys!

Joel McKnight – Tehachapi, CA

“Hello Travis, Just wanted to let you know, what a great hunt elk hunt I had with  Arizona Elk Outfitters & the Zero Guide Service this last year. From you taking care of my application to the lodging was first class. My guide Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable of the area and worked very hard to get me a shot. We were into elk every day, but I passed on quite a few great bulls to shoot the big one, but unfortunately couldn’t get him in the right position to shoot him! I guess that’s how they get big! I do a lot of guided hunts and this was by far my most rewarding for the complete hunting experience.”

— ZGF member Frank Birtcher

“In 2015 I drew the coveted “Arizona Strip” mule deer tag. Fortunately prior to the draw I signed up and became a ZGF member. As a serious mule deer hunter and former outfitter and guide, I was amazed as to the professionalism, knowledge and dedication of the entire Arizona Strip Guides Team. After passing numerous beautiful bucks, Travis and Dave put me on a tremendous buck. I missed him four times and yet went home with tremendous satisfaction and respect for the ASG Team. I will sign up with ZGF every year for the rest of my hunting days.”

— ZGF member Dick Cook

“Jabe worked very hard to put me on an elk. I missed which that falls on me. He’s a great guide and a very nice young man. We enjoyed our time with him and I have already recommended him to another hunter! Jabe was able to put us in an area with light hunting pressure and a lot of elk. We couldn’t hardly sleep at night because of their bugling. There were many good bulls in the area and it was just an excellent hunt! Jabe was great!”

— ZGF member Steve Kyle

“Great experience with this outfitter.  Although I did not take any shots, I had the opportunity to harvest several animals.  With the animals not rutting and a full moon, it made this hunt a challenge.  Travis did everything he could to put me on a trophy animal.  I had a great time and a great experience and would highly recommend the Zero Guide Fee service to anyone.”

— ZGF member Trent Leavitt

“My experience hunting with Arizona Strip Guides & being a Zero Guide Fee member will not be my last.  All the guides in camp were knowledgeable and skilled.  My guide Nick was hard working and focused on doing whatever it took for me to get the Mule Deer I was looking for.  His relentless efforts made the difference and I got a great deer.  All hunters in camp took home a prize so I would take 100% success any day of the week.”

—  ZGF member Mike Thomas

“I drew in my first year as a Zero Guide Fee member with only 1 bonus point. I received a 5 day fully outfitted hunt for just my membership cost of $349.00.  Arizona Elk Outfitters LLC was my participating outfitter and Arlis Miller was my guide. Arlis was great, he was professional and courteous we saw many elk  and basically had a lot of fun on this hunt.”

— ZGF member Jake Karber

“I had a 22S muzzleloader elk tag. Layne Chitwood was my guide. He was a very hard working and enthusiastic guide and I had a very good hunt. He had done his homework and guided to what could well have been the largest bull that would have been taken in that unit. I wounded him and had him on the ground at 40 yards and failed to close the deal. I had my chance at a giant and I took home a nice 6 pt bull 3 days later. I am very satisfied with the hunt and would like to know if I will be able to use your service for Arizona deer going forward. I only did one species this year to give it a try. Please advise.”
